Every honey bee contributes by pollinating a diverse range of plants. A third of their life is spent flying to find flowers with pollen they can bring back to their hive. They still face a number of health issues, however, and one of their major challenges is finding and collecting food. Statistics Canada data shows the number of honey bee hives in Canada is on the rise. But pollinators, a diverse group that includes insects and animals such as birds and bats, are under threat because of widespread pesticide use, climate change, the emergence of foreign pests, diseases and habitat loss. Many crops like cucumbers, pumpkins, cherries and apples depend on them for pollination. But what about almonds, pears, avocados, grapes and dare we say wine? Most plants rely on bees and other natural pollinators to produce some of nature's most nutritious and beloved foods. Maybe you could stand to live in a world without honey. ![]()
